Cherokee on OLC

Hi Tony,

Is that your longest flight yet? It has been fun watching your flight
distances and speeds increase over the last year or 2. Well done. It is
clear you are having a lot of fun!

Paul,

not my longest flight yet, but top 5. Longest was a few years ago at 105
miles. I've had at least three flights (2 this season) in the 90-100
mile range.

I am definitely having fun.

Today i decided to run east towards Wichita, since I had to get home
tonight anyway. 2000 AGL tow from Ulysses followed by a good thermal that
I took to 10,300 feet MSL!!! thats the highest the Cherokee has ever flown!
I started to run east and was joined by Steve in the Nimbus after a while
but then there was big shadows and some buildling T-storms that shut
everything down. I delayed for a while attempting to make headway into
the 25 mph wind (HA) then made a run to the east a little further but
missed and landed in a dirt field. nice farmer who helped de-rig.

40 miles total distance from ulysses. Once I figure out how to download
off this Cambridge, I'll post to the OLC. Should be fun to see the spot
where I was "stuck" for about an hour.
